Chapter 51： Song Zhi's gizmo

Bai Lili is a down-to-earth girl.

She doesn't have any ambitions or dreams, she just wants the family to huddle together, lively and live in love with each other.

But-

Now she has the opportunity to fly to the branches, which was given to her by her sister.

Li Li was particularly disturbed.

She doesn't think she should embezzle her sister's stuff...

But she also knew that it took only a year for the silly sister to regain her intelligence. Although she is very smart now, she is still very naive in some places. Not to mention that the parents are reluctant to let Taotao go far, even Lili herself is reluctant to let Taotao go that far.

Tao Tao is still young after all, what if someone bullies her?

So, Lili looked at her family one by one.

But seeing her parents, sister-in-law, and sisters all cast their eyes on her with affirmation, approval, and support?

Especially Taotao, she stared at Lili with a pair of beautiful and pure eyes, nervously looking at Lili, for fear that Lili would not agree.

At this moment, a longing for the unknown future suddenly arose in Lili's heart.

- If she stayed in the village all the time, she would marry and have children step by step like other peasant girls. But she loves her family so much that she doesn't want to marry, nor is she interested in integrating into someone else's family.

But if she goes to work in the city...

At least for the next few years, at least until the job turns regular, can you stop thinking about marriage?

Then let her break into a new world in the past few years!

There was a glimmer of hope in Li Li's heart.

She took a deep breath and nodded towards Manager Xu, "Uncle Xu, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I-I'm willing to give it a try!"

Manager Xu nodded in relief.

Section Chief Feng and Uncle Qin also exchanged a satisfied look.

Then Manager Xu and Bai Zhenggan began to talk about supply and marketing cooperation.

Bai Zhengqian wanted to promote more various mountain goods, agricultural and sideline products produced in the village; Manager Xu and Section Chief Feng tried to lower the price. The two sides, you come and go, talk about dry saliva, and talk about it from noon until dark, really is your side's grind, and we're pressing...

It was not until ten o'clock at night that the two parties finally finalized the supply and sales contract for the next three years.

Ruyi Village provides live pigs and various seasonal products to Songcheng Railway Station State-run Hotel on a quarterly basis, such as spring mushrooms, sweet bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried white chrysanthemum, tea, and three seasonal vegetables. The final price is purchased and paid quarterly.

Bai Zhengqian wrote the contract and handed it to Manager Xu. Manager Xu read it carefully and confirmed that there was no problem, so he lowered his voice and said, "Secretary Bai, you are a cheerful person, so I will... no. Hidden and tucked, that stewed meat with herbs?"

Bai Zhenggan also lowered his voice, "Let's not write this in the contract. In short, I will send you three kilograms of dry goods every quarter... A small piece of this stuff is enough for a big pot, and three kilograms are enough for three months. None! It doesn't matter if you use it quickly, just send me a message, and I'll send it to you!"

Manager Xu thought for a while, "Then let's have a password..."

Suddenly seeing that the pottery cup in front of him was filled with a cup of chrysanthemum tea, Manager Xu said: "If I am out of stock, I will ask someone to tell you that I want to drink tea made by Tao Tao, why? Sample?"

Bai Zhenggan laughed, "No problem!"

Manager Xu lowered his voice again and explained, "Then you have to keep a little secret about the stewed meat and herbs for me, especially the state-owned hotel of the county party committee... I'm not afraid to tell you that Ruyi Village is too far from the county seat. After all, there is a transportation cost, and at the price I negotiated with you, I can find a similar source of goods near the county..."

"That's why I'm going to tell you the ugly story. If the state-run restaurant of the county party committee also uses this stewed meat and herbs, then our cooperation will be..."

Bai Zhenggan, "Don't worry, Manager Xu! We're also worried that other villages will find out about this stuff, and we'll lose a supply and sales channel in the future... So, let's keep this secret from both sides, okay? "

Manager Xu nodded.

It was late at night, and the other village cadres and clan elders said goodbye and left.

Bai Zhengqian put Manager Xu and others in Song Zhi's house to build a floor. After all, the Westinghouse he lived in, when he built a new house, was prepared for the family to live in, and it was very spacious.

The next morning, Sister Tao Tao got up early to prepare some things for Manager Xu and others that could be taken away at any time.

-Two catties of sun-dried and chopped stewed meat and herbs packed in cloth mouths, a large basket of various dry goods, such as mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, white chrysanthemum, new tea made by Tang Liren, and another seven or eight catties Green grapes plucked from the branches.

Taotao and Xingxing are busy preparing things over there, while Lili is busy making breakfast here. At the same time, three pots of rice are steamed in clay pots, and each pottery pot puts a few slices of semi-fat and lean bacon, and waits until the rice is steamed. Ripe, pear and pear fry three more eggs, and put them into the clay pot, and finally put a pinch of pickled vegetables, a little shrimp chili sauce in the clay pot, and finally put the lid on.

In the courtyard, Manager Xu and others were eating breakfast made by Lili.

—Noodle soup with vegetarian dumplings.

The soup is the hot pot soup left over from yesterday, which is very fresh; the noodles are made by Lili kneading the noodles in the morning, white, fat, soft and elastic; each person's bowl has four dumplings with different fillings, namely: sour beans Water chestnut dumplings, shepherd's purse yuba dumplings, fungus carrot dumplings and pickled loofah dumplings.

A large bowl of noodles with soup and water, plus four chubby dumplings, although they are all vegetarian stuffing, but the combination is amazing, the taste is different, and then served with balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, small chives and mushroom chili sauce, It's so delicious!

They are happy to eat Manager Xu.

Of course, being able to get the stewed meat and herbs is their greatest achievement.

Before leaving, Lili took out three more clay pots containing steamed rice, tied them with straw and put them in the big basket, and said to Manager Xu and the others, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Qin, Uncle Feng, it takes a whole day's drive from us to get back to the county town, these three cans of rice are better for you to eat halfway than to be hungry."

Uncle Qin glanced at the three pots and asked with a smile, "Li Li, you are too generous. We just took these three pots?"

Lili smiled and said, "This clay pot is made by myself, so it's not worth much if you don't use it... You can throw it away after you eat, it's not worth anything."

- This kind of pottery pot is made by the villagers of Ruyi Village. The purpose is to use it for lunch when they go out to work and can't come back at noon. Of course, tung leaves can also be used to wrap rice, but tung leaves have almost no heat preservation effect. It is best to use this kind of earthenware pot for rice, get some hot food in early in the morning, and work so that at noon, you can still eat lukewarm rice, which is of course the best.

And because the soil is not suitable, the workmanship is rough, and it is fired at low temperature, the quality of the pot is not very good, and it can only be used repeatedly for four or five times at most, and it will crack on its own...

So the villagers make a kiln at one time every year, burn three or four hundred clay pots and store them, and then barter with others.

People who usually need to travel far, just take a cabbage, half a catty of dried chili or something to exchange with him for a few.

Uncle Qin was inspired again.

He stared blankly at the three pots and thought—their restaurant is near the train station! Of course, most of the travelers who want to bring meals on the train bring their own aluminum lunch boxes. But it doesn't rule out that someone has to go out in an emergency, and they don't want to eat the food on the train dining car! Temporarily buy an aluminum lunch box, more expensive than a meal! What if their restaurant could buy this single-use clay pot at a very cheap price?

He used a clay pot to steam the rice and kept it on the steamer to ensure that the rice was hot at all times. Then he fry a pot of vegetables, put it in a pot, and put it on a coal stove to keep it warm. In this way, no matter when the customers on the road come to buy, as long as the vegetables are added in the clay pot, a warm meal can be sold immediately.

Go to the supply and marketing agency to buy an aluminum lunch box, and the cheapest one costs three bucks.

As long as the cost of each set of clay pots is controlled within 2 cents, he can make a jar of rice for 1.5 cents, a vegetarian dish and some pickles; a meal of 20 cents, one meat, one vegetable, and pickles; 25 cents meal with two meat and one vegetarian...

Who doesn't want to go to the train station restaurant to buy a tin of food before getting on the train, and then eat a good meal comfortably and warmly? And this is the unique advantage of the railway station hotel. The county party hotel just wants to follow the trend, and no one will let them buy it there!

Uncle Qin's eyes became sparkling again!

When Taotao saw Uncle Qin's expression, she knew what he was thinking.

She said in time: "Uncle Qin, don't buy this clay pot from us, it's not suitable! You, find someone near the county seat to burn it. Don't say we are stupid and can't make money. Really, Of course we want to earn the money that should be earned, but if it is really inappropriate, don’t force it.”

- Mainly because the quality of this pottery is really bad, and Ruyi Village is too far away from the county seat. One is that the freight cannot be paid, and the other is that the damage rate on the road cannot be estimated.

Uncle Qin was very moved and said, "Tao Tao, you guys are so good!"

He sighed: "I really don't know the difficulty of going out without going out. Our hotel is still next to the train station, and it has naturally good conditions. Unfortunately, in the past, we did not consider our own advantages at all!"

"That's good. I learned so much from you after going out... Taotao, Lili, thank you so much!" Uncle Qin said with a sigh.

Next, Manager Xu made an appointment with Lili for her to report to the city—

The sisters and Song Zhi sent Manager Xu away.

After seeing Manager Xu away, the sisters were all overjoyed!

Tao Tao Xing Xing excitedly surrounded Li Li in the middle, and said chirpingly—

"Third sister, you have to work hard and try to change to regular position as soon as possible!"

"Third sister, you have to take your books with you when you go to the city. Although you have a job, you can't leave your studies behind!"

"Third sister, you can be with Xiaozhuzi. You must help me keep an eye on the cooperation between me and Xiaozhuzi!"

"Three sisters, three sisters, don't look for someone easily when you go to the city, you have to let your parents take care of you..."

"I'm going to die, I'm going to the city to do my business, not to find someone!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed—

"What? Bai Lili, you... are you going to work in the city?"

The sisters looked up and saw that Yan Naqian came out at some point. Maybe she could have listened to what they said?

Xing Xing hated Yan Naqian very much, so she glared at her and said, "Dog, why are you eavesdropping on us?"

Yan Naqian was taken aback, "You, you said I was..."

"Dog!" Xing Xing exclaimed, "Don't you really want to be our dog?"

Yan Naqian was furious, "You!"

She wanted to teach this Bai Xingxing a good lesson, but then she thought that it was the most important thing to find out that Bai Lili went to work in the city, so she didn't bother to pay attention to Xingxing, and asked Lili with a smile, "Lili, do you really want to? Going to work in the city? How did you do it..."

As a result, Tao Tao and Xing Xing ran away with Pear Pear—

"Third sister ignore her, she's a bad person!"

"Let's run!"

Yan Naqian watched helplessly as the sisters of the Bai family ran away laughing...

Just as she was about to go after her, Song Zhi, who fell behind the sisters, suddenly called out to her, "Yan Naqian?"

Yan Naqian bit her lip and stood still, put on a gentle smile, and turned to look at Song zhi, smiling like a flower, "Brother Song zhi, you are finally willing to have a good word with me."

Song Zhi, "I just want to remind you that when others don't want to pay attention to you, don't post it cheaply, it's very cheap."

Yan Naqian:…

Song Zhi left with an expressionless face.

Yan Naqian was angry.

- If it wasn't for your reluctance to go through the plot and marry me, would I be able to stick my hot face on someone else's cold ass?

But she said that when the sisters returned home, Tang Liren was happily packing Lili's luggage.

"The weather is getting colder every day. I have to go to Jixiang Village to buy some cotton from your aunt and make me Lili a new quilt! I sleep warmly at night, and I have the energy to work hard during the day! Red beans and soybeans , these few days you two are free to go catch some small fish and shrimps and come back, I will make some shrimp chili sauce for you three aunts... But you two also have to pay attention, don't go into the water, the water is cold now! You two can only Standing on the shore and fishing... Huier, help Lili pack her clothes, take out all the unpatched clothes at home, let Lili pick them, and let her take whichever one she likes! Hey Taotao, you You're back, you'll be afflicted again, and come out with two good clothes for your third sister! Xingzi, you can make some beautiful headbands for your third sister..."

Everyone was amused.

Lili said angrily, "Mom! I won't go until next month! There are still ten days left!"

Tang Liren, "You know the shit, it's better to prepare early!"

Pear Pear: …

Although she was scolded, she was sweet in her heart, looking forward and a little uneasy.

So, in the days that followed, Li Limao worked hard at the housework, thinking that she would be away from home in the future, and if she wanted to help the family, she would not be able to help her, so now she can do more work , then do more.

After the village's main food crops were harvested, Ruyi Village was in a blissful mood.

Now that a supply and sales contract with a state-run hotel has come down?

The village committee posted a notice immediately, announcing a batch of labor tasks, and let everyone work on the same day!

Some villagers with a lot of brains inquired about the content of the supply and sales contract, and then made a cracking calculation...

Be nice!

This supply and marketing contract is incredible, and it allows every household in the village to earn at least 15 yuan per quarter!

All of a sudden, everyone is full of energy, and everyone can't wait to have 12 divisions of labor to do every day!

The villagers were busy again.

Some were ordered to go to other villages to buy piglets and lambs to keep in captivity, some planted vegetables for the production team, some went to the jungle to drag dead wood and came back to make mushrooms, and some went to Houshan to grab time to collect wild tea leaves. of…

However, this is not serious farm work, and jobs are limited. Those who got the job went to work happily to earn work points, and those who didn't get the job one step late sighed.

Before Bai Zhenggan was injured, he was also a good farmer.

After he was injured, he could no longer do farm work, so he simply devoted himself to studying some affairs in the village.

It happened that Taotao mentioned the test field in front of the village cadres and the elders last time, so these days, other village cadres led the villagers to rush to harvest, and Bai Zhenggan and the elders have been discussing these matters.

Now that the autumn harvest has been successfully completed, Bai Zhenggan sent a letter to the relevant departments to apply for land reclamation.

So he took out the detailed plan for reclamation of the barren hills, which he had already checked many times, and held a meeting with the village cadres, the leaders of the production team, and the elders of the sect. I urge everyone to come to work when they have time.

Because land reclamation has not yet been included in the grain collection plan, the standard of work points is determined by the village committee, and it does not require too many people to go to work, so this depends on the willingness of the villagers.

The villagers are boiling again!

Those who did not catch up with the first job posting, hurried to sign up to participate in land reclamation, for fear of missing out.

As a result, the village, which had already entered the slack farming season, became lively again.

- Everyone thinks that there are still three or four months before the Chinese New Year. It is better to earn more work points and have a fat year!

Bai Taotao has also been very busy recently.

Seeing that her proposal to reclaim land and open up rice terraces, and to raise crucian carp, crocodile fish, and loach, etc., was approved, she was very happy.

After much deliberation, she also wrote an "Outline of Suggestions for the Development of Spiritual Civilization in Ruyi Village", listing the work she will carry out, and then wants to submit it to her father...

After thinking about it, Taotao still gave Song zhi what she wrote first, "Song zhi, please help me see it first!"

Tao Tao loves to study and is also diligent in her work, which is what Song Zhi is happy to see.

Of course he would be happy to help her take a look, take a closer look...

Song Zhi smiled.

Tao Tao frowned, "Why are you smiling?"

Song Zhi wanted to laugh even more.

-Because peach is so cute!

He laughed even louder.

Tao Tao became more and more suspicious—isn't she bad at writing?

I grabbed my own manuscript and read it from beginning to end...

She still thinks she writes well!

Song zhi touched her head with a smile, restrained his smile, and said softly, "You wrote very well, you don't need me to edit it for you at all, show it to your father, he will agree. "

Tao Tao is a little dubious.

But it feels good to be touched by him on the head...

Dizzy, she ran to Bai Zhenggan and handed over the materials she had written, "Secretary Bai, this is the work plan I set for myself, please take a look! If you think it's okay, please go earlier Give me twenty pounds of rice!"

Bai Zhengqian was a little baffled, took the "materials" handed over by his daughter, and almost burst out laughing.

It turns out that the "materials" written by Taotao are particularly colloquial, and the prose is lively and lovely, like a childish fairy tale, but...

The smile on Bai Zhenggan's face faded.

He stared at the material, lost in thought, tapping the fingers of his right hand on the table.

After a while, Bai Zhengqian asked Taotao to bring a pen and paper, and he rewrote a document, handed it back to his daughter, and said kindly, "Look at the difference."

Taotao took a look and her first reaction was: wow, isn't this the model in the ideological and political book? Every word... as if shouting a slogan? Taking a closer look, in fact, Dad didn't make any major changes. It's exactly the same as her report? !

Tao Tao is very smart, and immediately knew why Song zhi laughed just now, "Dad, what I wrote...isn't it funny?"

Bai Zhenggan read the version written by his daughter again and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahahahaha!"

"Dad!" Tao Tao was a little annoyed.

Bai Zhenggan held back his laughter desperately, "Okay, alright... I won't laugh at you, it's not funny at all, it's just very cute, Tao Tao, please copy the copy that Dad wrote, this original manuscript, Dad wants Keep it as a memorial."

"commemorate?"

Taotao asked curiously, "What's the commemoration?"

Bai Zhenggan wanted to laugh again - what to commemorate, in the future, when you grow up, get married, and have a child, I will take this out and see how cute you were when you were young...

However, Bai Zhengqian didn't dare to laugh at his daughter easily, so he said solemnly: "This is the first report material written by my girl, so of course I want to keep it as a souvenir!"

Oh, so it is!

Tao Tao was relieved and happily took the manuscript that Bai Zhenggan helped her to correct and went out...

After two steps, she remembered it again, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you agree to give me twenty pounds of rice?"

In fact, Bai Zhengqian can do this master.

But he mainly wanted to show how capable his precious daughter was in front of the village cadres and the elders, so he said, "I'll have to wait for you to submit the materials to me, and then I'll organize a meeting to discuss it with everyone. Everyone agrees, this matter can be settled!"

Taotao was a little worried, "Can it be settled? Hey, if you really don't agree... Then I'll go up the mountain to pick up the mushrooms myself. It's okay to dry the mushrooms as a prize."

Why is Bai Zhenggan willing to let his daughter work in vain!

"Hurry up and transcribe it!" he urged his daughter.

Tao Tao hurried to transcribe a copy of the material, handed it back to her father, and then went to work on her own.

After the autumn harvest, the work in the fields basically stopped; some particularly hard-working villagers would continue to work in order to earn more work, so work such as mowing pig grass and shoveling duck feces became a sweet pastry.

Sister Taotao has not gone out to work these days. They are at home to deal with the labor insurance gloves that Tang Liren picked up from the city.

- There is more or less oil on the labor protection gloves, which looks dirty and smells very unpleasant.

To remove these grease stains from the gloves, you have to soak them in baking soda for a while.

As for why baking soda is used instead of laundry detergent?

This is a small coup provided by Xing Xing.

How did Xing Xing know?

[Xing Xing: I wouldn't say that this is a small trick discovered by the millennial world! 】

The apricots just support it.

Tao Tao believed in Xing Xing very much, so in the name of Tang Liren, she asked someone to send a message to Dr. Zhao in the town. It didn't take long for Dr. Zhao to ask someone to bring a bag of medical baking soda.

The sisters tried diluting baking soda powder in water, and then soaking those labor protection gloves that were heavily stained with oil...

After one or two hours, take it out and rub it. If there are less stains, it will be washed directly. If there are more stains, it can be washed away by soaking it for a few more times!

For a while, three or four hundred pairs of labor insurance white gloves were drying in the yard!

Lili knew that she was about to leave home and worked hard every day.

After drying, the sisters carefully dismantled the labor protection gloves, rolled them into bundles of cotton yarn, dipped them in water, and hung them on the clothesline—this was done because the gloves had just been dismantled into cotton threads, which would If the crimping is severe, soaking in water again will help to make the crimped cotton yarn vertical.

After the cotton yarn soaked in water is dried in the shade, check it again. If it is still crimped, soak it in water again, and then dry it in the shade.

In the end, a snow-white and vertical white cotton yarn is obtained.

The sisters rolled up the bundles of white cotton yarn into balls, and the preparatory work was completed!

Next, comes the process of knitting sweaters.

Tang Li and Tan Fenghui can knit sweaters, Lili can also, originally Xingxing can't, but somehow they can...

Tao Tao alone will not.

But Tao Tao's hands-on ability is very strong. She stared at her mother and sister-in-law using sweater needles to tie, start, buckle, and poke needles.

Tang Liren assigned tasks to her daughters-in-law: within a month, each of them must knit two sweaters.

-Tang Liren knits one for Bai Zhengqian and Nan Sheng each.

-Tan Fenghui knits a sweater for herself and Lili first, and then knits another for Dongsheng when she is free.

- Xing Xing gave one for herself and one for red and soybeans.

- Taotao will also knit one for herself and Song Zhi.

Lili was about to enter the city, and Tang Liren didn't assign her a task. As a result, Lili got angry, closed the door at night, lit candles, and stayed up all night, so she knitted a sweater for herself in three or five days. Don't go into town!

But it disrupted Tang Liren's plan, which was funny, angry and distressed.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

After the girls finished their housework every day, they sat in the yard and knitted sweaters quickly...

Song Zhi was not idle either.

He had said before that he was going to make a laundry tub for his home.

- The principle of the washing machine is that the impeller in the sealed barrel rotates, driving the water flow to rub the clothes.

Ruyi Village has not been powered on and cannot use a washing machine with a motor core, but he can make a simple version of the foot-operated bearing washing tub. As long as you step on the pedal, you can achieve the pulsator rotation effect of the electric washing machine, freeing your hands to wash. effort.

However, after the autumn harvest, the production team sent a lot of farm tools that needed repairing, and Song Zhi's blacksmith shop was very busy.

Even so, he still took the time to make one and teach Sister Tao Tao how to use it.

Sister Tao Tao was very curious about this odd-looking laundry tub—it was obviously a wooden tub larger than an ordinary water tub, but smaller than a bath tub. There are three iron fans like electric fans at the bottom of the barrel, which are covered with two layers of iron nets with a little space between them. There is a foot pedal on the outside of the barrel, and there is a plug at the back near the bottom?

Song Zhi taught them hand in hand.

Pour the water into the washing tub first, then pour some washing powder, and then throw the dirty clothes into it. Then he moved a chair and sat in front of the tub, with one foot on a pedal.

He first stepped on the foot pedal with his left foot, and when he stepped it to the end, the three circular iron fan blades in the bucket began to rotate, and after four or five seconds, the iron fan blades slowly stopped; then he switched to the right foot and stepped on the pedal Press the board, step on it to the bottom, and the three circular iron fan pages in the barrel start to rotate in the opposite direction, and after four or five seconds, the iron fan pages slowly stop...

At the same time, Song Zhi explained: "Two pedals cannot be stepped on at the same time, only one side can be stepped on, and the other side must be stepped on after the fan page is completely still. After all, the materials we use are very rough, and the The bearing was originally bad, it was discarded waste, I picked it up and repaired it..."

In addition, he explained: First, pay attention to the fact that the cloth does not fall off the iron fan, so as not to entangle the iron fan, the cloth will be destroyed. First, when doing laundry, it is best not to get close to the red beans and soybeans. It is not fun if they fall into the bucket.

Finally, he told the girls that when they were finished, they pulled out the plug at the back of the wooden bucket, and the laundry water in the bucket would leak out.

Tang Liren also glanced at it and announced: In the future, this bucket can only be used to wash the whole family's coats and pants, and the underwear and **** with relatively light fabrics should be rubbed when bathing!

The three sisters were very excited and came to try it.

I have to say that you can really free your hands, and after mastering the rules, you can free your hands to read or memorize texts with books.

After washing the one with washing powder, dry the clothes and fish them out. After draining the sewage, put the plug back in, and then reconnect with water to continue cleaning. After two repetitions, the washing is almost done.

It's just that machine wash seems to be better than hand wash...

So the sisters came up with another way - soak the dirty clothes in a separate wooden tub with washing powder overnight, and wash them together the next day.

The clothes that are washed in this way are clean and effortless.

The sisters chattered excitedly, discussing the hardest household chores at home: one is fetching water, the other is doing laundry, and the other is collecting firewood for cooking. Free up your energy to do something else, or study.

Song Zhi listened on the sidelines, and became interested again.

- Bai Lili is about to leave home, and the housework will inevitably fall on Taotao. Is it hard to gather firewood to cook?

Then he will improve the living conditions for Taotao!

Most of the people in the city burn honeycomb, which is unrealistic in the countryside. Gathering firewood to make a fire for cooking is immutable, but maybe he can transform the stove at home? Let’s save more firewood. In this case, I have to go to the back mountain every day to collect firewood, maybe once every other day is enough?

Song Zhi began to study silently again.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Li Li left home and went to work in the city.

During this short half-month period, the whole family also took time to buy things for Lili.

—Tang Liren went to the village next door to collect this year’s new harvest of cotton. She asked someone to make two new quilts, and taught Lili to make a bed and cover it. In addition, she made some fish and shrimp from red beans and soybeans. Jar of chili sauce.

- In addition, Taotao and Tan Fenghui worked together to make a few clothes for Lili, two pairs of pants, one black and one blue, a small floral shirt, and a new cotton coat made of black cotton and bright red. In addition, Taotao also made two coats, one made of floral fabric and the other black, which can be covered over the cotton coat to prevent dirt.

—Xing Xing made several pairs of insoles, tied a hundred or ten headbands, and made several pairs of floral sleeves and so on.

There are so many things, and finally five big bags!

Lili wailed, "My God, there are so many, how can I take so many things away..."

Taotao couldn't help laughing, "Then put down the stone candlestick! There are electric lights in the city, what are you doing with this?"

Lili, "What if there is a power outage? Besides, I love this stone candle holder, it's so pretty!"

Xing Xing, "Third sister, don't bring those old clothes. Why don't you come back during the New Year? Put some clothes at home to wear!"

Lili, "No, these sets of clothes are the most comfortable to wear, I want to take them with me!"

Tan Fenghui burst into laughter, "You're like a moving chipmunk!"

Lili was sad and wanted to cry, "If you don't let me bring anything, I'll be homesick..."

Everyone was also a little sad.

"Take it! My girl can bring whatever she wants!"

"You can bring the stone candlestick, I won't talk about you anymore!"

"Third sister, if you miss home, just look at the headband I gave you!"

"If Lili is homesick, just write a letter. Although it's a little slower, you can still receive it twice a month!"

In the comfort of everyone, Lili's tears slowly poured out of her eyes.

"Dad, Mom, when I'm not at home, you two should pay attention to your own body! Dad, you have to take care of your illness, don't be arrogant. Mom, don't be too strong, after all, you are old and can't do 8 divisions of labor. Yes, just do 7 divisions of labor, just subsidize it from other places..."

"Tao Tao Xing Xing, I'm not at home anymore. You two have to work hard... If there is any work that you can't do, just leave it alone. When I come over, I'll do it!"

"Sister-in-law, my parents are getting older, Tao Tao Xing Xing is still young, this family depends on you..."

"Red beans and soybeans, you can be obedient, study hard, and work for the adults if you can, you know?"

"Brother Song Zhi, please take care of the family affairs..."

Everyone's eyes turned red.

Early in the morning, the whole family reluctantly sent Lili to the entrance of the village.

Everyone in the village has heard that Lili is going to work in the city.

Of course, some people are jealous, but more people hold an attitude of admiration, thinking that Lili was chosen by the state-run hotel to be a temporary worker because she was too hard-working and too capable.

So when everyone saw Lili who was about to travel far away, everyone rushed to say hello to Lili—

"Li Li is so good! Go to the city and perform well, and win glory for our village!"

"Li Li is really capable, come on!"

"The young people in our village should study like Lili..."

"Li Li, you are coming back for the new year!"

Lili cried into tears.

Tang Liren also cried, took out a stack of bills from her trouser pocket and stuffed it into Lili's hand, "Son, go to the city... It's not like being at home, in that place, you take a car to ask for money and drink water. If you want money, you want money for everything! So this money... you take it!"

Lili waved her hand quickly, "No no no! Mom, you have already given me fifty yuan... Besides, I went to the city to work to earn money, so why did you pay me back?"

"Mom is afraid that you won't have enough money! You take it! Take it...you have enough money and you can keep it. What if you don't have enough money? Take it! Quickly take it...you'll get angry if you don't take it!" Tang Liren pretended to be Put on an angry face.

Only then did Lili hold the money handed over by her mother with red eyes.

The bus into town has arrived.

Song Zhi climbed onto the roof of the car and helped to tie Lili's large luggage to the roof.

Taotao took Lili's hand and repeatedly explained, "Third sister, you have a lot of luggage. When you get off the bus in the city, you can guard your luggage and don't go anywhere. Uncle Qin and Xiaozhuzi will come to pick you up. If they don't arrive, don't move, you know?"

Lili nodded tearfully and got into the car.

The shuttle starts.

Bai Lili is heading towards her brilliant future.

Yan Naqian watched from a distance that the whole family surrounded Bai Lili on the bus, and she was very angry...

She couldn't believe it. She, a modern person from the 21st century, can't compete with these rustic countrymen?

Well, going back to the city is a must!

Just thinking about it, Yan Naqian saw Song Zhi's gentle smile and touched Bai Taotao's head?

Yan Naqian clenched her fists.

Hmph, Song Rank, she's going to make a decision too!
